Polluted air from Pakistan affecting Delhi, says UP govt

The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday told the Supreme Court that polluted air from Pakistan affects the air quality in Delhi, adding that the industries in Uttar Pradesh have no role to play in the national capital's pollution. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana was hearing a plea on air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region.

Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, argued that the state industries are downwind and the polluted air doesn't go towards Delhi. Ranjit Kumar blamed polluted air coming from Pakistan's side for affecting the air quality in Delhi.
